About 5,000 complaining residents in Davao del Norte hit the streets of Tagum City anew to appeal for Congress to expedite legislative solutions that will put an end to continuing rotational brownouts amid high cost of price of electricity in the province.
Ryan Amper, co-convenor of Davao Consumer Movement , said that the “Solidarity Rally,” initiated by the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte and joined by a good number of supporters from various sectoral groups, reflects the growing discontentment of the people for the alleged failure of the Northern Davao Electric Cooperative Inc. to provide dependable power service at a reasonable price.
“Ang common [na problema], lagi lagi ang brownout, lagi lagi na blackout, hindi lang sa buong Tagum, kung hindi sa buong Davao del Norte, including Samal [Brownouts remain to be the common problem, not only in Tagum but all of Davao del Norte, including Samal],” he added. At present, there are three pending bills filed in Congress, House Bills 5077, 6740 and 7047, that offer solutions to the power crisis in their province.
